Aha!

I feel a LOT better this morning…though still not 100%. Because of that I will lay low again today and take a partial sick day. It was so nice to be waited on my my kiddos yesterday. The best part was the peace, they all got along and worked together so well! So why when I feel good do they act like…well not like yesterday!? OK I will take what I can get, they are all great kids and I love them dearly!

Something has clicked…changed…umm…not sure how to describe it, but I am back in the game mentally. Maybe getting sick? Maybe realizing I want my immune system the strongest it can be AND that will require me to eat healthy? I do not know and frankly I am not going to spend a whole lot of time trying to analyze the why’s, but rather am focusing on the right here…right now and take advantage of this clear thinking to make the best decisions and move forward in this journey yet once again.

My daughter(she is 10) has been picking up on my healthy queues lately. I have had her making lunch all week as I have been “under the weather” and she makes sure there is at least 1 veggie served and asks her brothers which one they would prefer…not IF they want a veggie. She is also reading labels and asking for certain things to be replaced…like a cereal(her favorite) swap because the one we had been buying had HFCS in the ingredients. I was looking for buffalo meat(though she thought I was looking at ground beef) and asked if we might buy lean ground turkey instead. I am so proud that she is looking out for healthier ingredients. THAT is a victory in my book…no matter what that blasted scale says to me each week.

Healthy changes…one step at a time…THAT is how I we will Succeed!
